What we deliver
Services
Fixed-price contracts. Milestone-based delivery. 12-month warranty included. Every engagement is scoped clearly before work begins — no hourly billing, no scope creep billed back to you.
Custom Software Development
Full-cycle delivery — discovery through 12-month warranty close.
Any stack, any domain. We take requirements from zero to production-ready software with security and compliance built into every phase — not retrofitted at the end. Code that ships is tested, documented, and covered by warranty.
Scope
- Requirements analysis and architecture design
- Full-stack web applications and APIs
- Systems integration and data pipelines
- Testing, security audit, and production deployment
- 12-month defect warranty post-delivery
What's Included
- NIST 800-171 compliance integrated from Sprint 1
- Full documentation and compliance audit trail
- Milestone-based invoicing — pay as work is delivered
- Fixed price agreed upfront — no cost overruns
CMMC Readiness Consulting
Gap analysis, remediation roadmap, implementation support.
CMMC compliance is a prerequisite for DoD contracts — and most small defense contractors don't have the internal expertise to get there on their own. CanaStack advises on compliance gaps and builds the remediation roadmap. We are not a CMMC Assessor Organization and do not perform certification assessments; we prepare you for one.
Scope
- Current-state assessment against NIST SP 800-171
- Gap analysis across all 110 practices (Level 2)
- System Security Plan (SSP) development
- Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) documentation
- SPRS score preparation and submission support
Deliverables
- Written compliance roadmap with prioritized remediation steps
- Risk scorecard across all NIST 800-171 domains
- Implementation checklist tied to your specific environment
- Audit-ready documentation package
AI & LLM Integration
On-premise AI deployment — your data stays on your network.
We integrate AI and large language model capabilities into government software with full data residency controls. All inference runs on our on-premise NVIDIA GPU infrastructure — no cloud API dependency, no data leaving your network. Built for federal environments where data control is non-negotiable.
Use Cases
- Document automation — contract analysis, report generation
- Intelligent search across classified or sensitive datasets
- Decision-support systems and scenario analysis
- NIST 800-171 compliance validation and risk scoring
- Audit automation and anomaly detection
What's Not Included
- We do not route data through external cloud AI APIs without explicit client approval
- We do not offer SaaS or subscription-based AI products
- We do not provide consumer-facing chatbot products
DevSecOps
Secure CI/CD pipelines aligned with NIST 800-171.
Pipeline architecture designed with security controls built in from day one. Automated security scanning, compliance gates, and infrastructure-as-code that produces an audit trail as a byproduct of the development process — not a separate compliance exercise.
Scope
- CI/CD pipeline architecture and implementation
- Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) design and deployment
- Automated security scanning integrated into pipeline
- Compliance gates — no deployment without passing controls
- 12-month support post-implementation
What's Included
- NIST 800-171 alignment across all pipeline stages
- Full documentation of pipeline architecture and controls
- Audit-ready logging and change tracking
- Fixed-price engagement — no hourly overruns
Engagement model
How Contracts Are Structured
CanaStack uses fixed-price contracts with milestone-based invoicing. The total cost is agreed before work begins. Invoices are issued as milestones are delivered — not as hours are logged. Contact us for a quote specific to your scope.
What Every Engagement Includes
Total cost is agreed before work begins. No surprise overruns.
You pay as milestones are delivered — not upfront, not by the hour.
Defects discovered after delivery are fixed at no cost. See warranty terms.
NIST 800-171 validation is included in the delivery — not a separate line item.
Federal Procurement
- Fixed-price contracts provide budget certainty for federal agencies
- Milestone-based invoicing aligns with FAR payment terms
- Government purchase orders accepted
- Warranty is included in quoted price — no separate support contracts required
- CanaStack is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small business (SDVOSB certification pending)
How we deliver
Example Engagement
Operations Visibility Dashboard
Challenge
Track project status, team capacity, and sprint metrics across multiple concurrent engagements — with a compliance audit trail aligned to NIST 800-171 incident response requirements.
Solution
Web-based dashboard pulling real-time data via GitLab API. Access controls and audit logging built to NIST 3.6 standards. Fixed-price delivery with compliance validation included.
Result
Single source of truth for sprint status. Compliance artifacts — logs, access controls, change history — pre-built and audit-ready as a byproduct of normal operations.
